Makes you wonder if the official Haliburton strategy isn't just "Overcharge for everything, we'll only get caught on about half of it!"

Your mother's a *****. You like to jack off dogs. That's right, you heard me. You like to grab that dog by the bone and rub it like a ski pole. Your dad? ***. Your priest? Straight. **** off and let me post. It's not true, it's all in good fun. Now go away.

The Defense Department said yesterday that Halliburton Co. will reimburse the government $27.4 million for possible overcharges for food services in Iraq and Kuwait

Quote:

Last week, Halliburton said it would repay the government $6.2 million to cover possible overcharges by another subcontractor under the same contract

Quote:

Pentagon auditors also are reviewing whether KBR may have overcharged the government at least $61 million to import fuel from Kuwait into Iraq

Gee, it's too bad the only company who could have possibly handled this stuff during that time sensitive closed bid is either full of thieves or else has manned the accounting department with a pack of gibbons.

This really wouldn't surprise me. There have been instances when insurance companies repeatedly denied claims in the hope that the claimaint would simply give up and pay it himself, which they often do. I don't see why a huge, hugely complex and convoluted corporation like Halliburton wouldn't try something so insidiously simple. ****, careers get made when people dare to make that sort of suggestion.
